In wake of CA terror attack, our readers in Redlands obviously had reason for concern

Posted by Ann Corcoran on December 3, 2015

By now you know that the killers in San Bernardino were a Muslim husband and wife team who were killed in a gun battle a few hours after the mass murder—Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik. Their home (some reports say it was booby-trapped) was in Redlands according to the LA Times.

Hours after the terror attack, CAIR Los Angeles came out to distance themselves from what has all the earmarks of a carefully-planned Islamic terror attack (although the media is dancing around calling it that!).

About six weeks ago, CAIR Director Hussam Ayloush said Tea Party citizens were bigoted and paranoid to fear more Muslim migration to California. Last night he was “praying” for the victims of the latest Islamic terror attack.

We’ve told you about citizens’ concern about more Muslim migration to Redlands here in October!

We don’t know yet how Farook came to be living in Redlands (there are reports that he was born in America to immigrant parents), but officials there scoffed at concerns voiced by Victoria Hargrave who asked her town council to block Muslim refugee resettlement in Redlands. From our poston Redlands, Hargrave told the council:

Our biggest concern is the safety of our family, our children and our grandchildren,” Victoria Hargrave of Redlands Townhall said the council on Tuesday.

After Hargrave’s plea to the council she was blasted by CAIR Los Angeles Director, Hussam Ayloush, who called her remarks bigoted and rooted in paranoia as we reported here.

Victoria Hargrave of Redlands Townhall said on Wednesday that our nation is based on Judeo-Christian beliefs, and we value freedom of speech, freedom of religion and property rights as protected by the Constitution. She said Muslims reject these values and are coming to America to impose Sharia law.

“This paranoia and phobia is rooted in a combination of ignorance and bigotry,” said Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Los Angeles chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and chairman of the Syrian American Council in a telephone interview Wednesday about the Redlands tea party concerns.

We have been for decades admitting Muslim migrants and learning that the second generation is being radicalized (they become more devout!). Sadly there is no sign of an end in sight now that the Muslim numbers have become so high.

Send us updates and we will post some of those at this post. We want to know what nationality Farook and Malik were, Pakistani? What legal immigration program brought his parents to America? What mosque did he attend? Where did he connect with Malik? Did they have support from ISIS?

Action Alert: Call your members of the House and Senate at 202-224-3121 and ask them to vigorously oppose the Refugee Resettlement funding contained in the Omnibus Spending Bill that will be voted on by 12-11-15! Please call by this Friday, Dec. 4th

Two things I would like to see.
-Publication of the terror watch list. Sheriff’s departments all over the US publish lists of convicted sexual offenders. You get names, addresses and photos of each one, plus the nature of their offense. There is a map with “pins” showing the actual location of the home where the offender lives. This certainly enhances our ability to “See something – Say something.” I’d like to be able to have the same info on possible terrorist connections of my neighbors.
-Publication called “How to know if your Muslim friend is becoming radicalized”. There are many clues available to recognize the radicalization process. Many of us have Muslim friends, co-workers and neighbors. So often we hear about terrorists that “so and so” was a real nice guy, but recently his behavior changed” … and it turns out he has committed an atrocious terrorist act. Some of these actions are predictable.
Thanks for helping me to promote these ideas.

More info – According to telegraph.co.uk “The couple were married for two years and have a six-month-old baby girl, Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Los Angeles chapter of CAIR, told Reuters.” and “Farook’s family was originally from South Asia, while Malik was believed to be from Pakistan and had lived in Saudi Arabia before coming to the United States, Mr Ayloush said. Farook had an older brother, he added, who had served in the US military.”
